ASTRID KIRCHHERR Interview

Post by hamilton_square »

Leaving aside the obvious promotional reasons for this recent 30-minute NPR interview. ASTRID KIRCHHERR nevertheless, gives an often honest first-hand account of those early Hamburg years with the Beatles at..........

So much so, that towards the end of the broadcast I got the rather distinct impression that the now icon status of those early Beatles images greatly overshadowed her work as a photographer in later years.

Work as a photographer? She mentions that she enjoyed a career as a photographer's assistant, but her own self-doubt regarding her talent (and what a loss, considering her early, untutored work!) kept her from following her star to what would have been a quite influential outcome, I'm convinced, as a photographer.

Did I miss something?

I also found the title of the book, "Yesterday: The Beatles Once Upon a Time" to be very poignant. It seems like we're beginning to see some museum-quality dust beginning to be forced upon a once-sparkling and always legendary time.

But she finally hit it big with Punk'd and now she's married to Demi Moore, so everything worked out in the end.

Astrid and Demi? Thats silly.
Everyone knows that Ringo played guitar at the wedding of Demi and Tommy Moore.
